Policies

Your comfort and safety is our top priority.

STUDIO ETIQUETTE

  • Check-In: Visit the front desk to check in and make any necessary payments.

  • Health Policy:

    • If you test positive for COVID-19, wait until you are symptom-free for at least 5 days before returning to the studio.

    • If you have any other contagious illness, please refrain from coming to the studio until you are fully well.

  • Studio Environment:

    • Remove shoes and store them in the cubbies. No heels on the studio floor.

    • Keep voice levels low to avoid disrupting others.

    • Turn off electronic devices to minimize distractions.

    • Respect all staff and fellow clients. Avoid discussions on polarizing topics.

    • The studio is a safe, inclusive space for everyone.

    • Clients may arrive 5 minutes early to use a mat and stretch out or use a foam roller. If the studio is full, please wait until there is space available.

    • We do not allow unmonitored use of the Pilates or Rope Wall equipment. Before approaching the equipment, please ask your instructor or wait for your session or class to begin.

CLOTHING ETIQUETTE

  • Wear appropriate clothing. Choose clothing wisely in order to avoid any ‘malfunctions’.

  • MEN: If you wear shorts, please wear tighter athletic shorts underneath any baggy shorts.

  • Sticky socks are highly encouraged. Socks that are not sticky may not be worn during workouts due to the danger of slipping.

FOOT ETIQUETTE

  • We allow bare feet in the studio but please ensure that your feet are clean.

  • If you have any issues with your feet that could be contagious, socks are required.

  • We sell socks at the front desk.

CLASS RULES

  • Take note of any prerequisites before registering for classes.

  • During class, pay attention to your instructor’s directions and be mindful while participating in any session at the studio. Please treat the equipment with care.

  • After class, wipe down all equipment that was used and put the equipment back together so it is ready for the next class.

  • Your instructor may use hands-on queuing to help you achieve proper form. If you are uncomfortable being touched, please let your instructor know.

INDIVIDUAL SESSION RULES

  • Please fill out all waivers and new client information before class.

  • If you do not feel comfortable being touched during queuing, please let your instructor know.

  • Let your instructor know of any injuries or issues that are currently under the care of a medical professional.

  • If you have an injury, please contact the studio with at least 24 hours notice in order for us to assess if it's appropriate for you to come to your session.

  • If you arrive to the studio with inflammation from an injury, we will not be able to see you.

  • Individual Sessions are one-on-one and personalized, but not fully private—other instructors may be teaching in the same studio during your session. If you prefer a completely private setting, we may be able to accommodate based on space and instructor availability. Please inquire at the front desk for more details if private sessions are preferred.
